Henry G. Adkins

  General Notes:

The 1860 Federal Census for Grand River, Henry Co., Missouri, Clinton P. O., dated July 6, 1860, page 848 records Henry G. (27 - Missouri) and Zilpha (28 - Tenn) Adkins with children Missouri F. (6), John T. (5), Louisa P. (3), and Henrietta J. (1). Henry is a farmer with real estate valued at $4,200 and a personal estate valued at $1,511.


Apparently Henry has died around 1875 because the 1880 census shows Zilpha has remarried: The 1880 Federal Census for Clinton, Henry Co., Missouri, page 350 records Zilpha Pea (47 - TN, TN, VA) and her husband Francis S. Pea (56 - KY/PA/PA) with step children Mary E. Adkins (19), Wm. Henry Adkins (17), James J. Adkins (15), Herrodius Adkins (11), and Malcolm C. Adkins (7). Also in the household is Francis' daughter Eva Pea (9).
